I Understand Lyrics

So look straight into my eyes

Tell me the truth and not lies

And now I understand

And now I understand

Too good to be true, our worlds collide

Tell me the truth and not lies

And now I understand

This world is filled of evil, Im sure you all must know

That being fake is easy man the real you's hard to show

Although you'd kill to be yourself, you've predicted the results

You just want to be accepted, no one likes to be the joke

So we lie, and we cheat, becoming something we're not

God forbid we are ourselves, we'll be left alone to rot

So we act how others act, and we get what others got

Until the day we're all the same, and we flying in flocks

Now you're talking like your boys, and you're repping the block

The block you never even lived on, stereotyped on the spot

Your boy passes you the blunt, now you're smoking that pot

Cause it relieves you from the stress that every other actors got

In too deep you've changed your name, hell you know its insane

But you've got the world's attention, yet deep down your ashamed

So you look at your crew and you're all dressed the same

You love the sweater grandma knit you but you tell her it's lame

SHAME!

"Yo I think I finally get it, ya know, it's like, it's like, when you're young

They teach you, they teach you, whats right from wrong

Then you get a little bit older and they teach you whats moral and whats not moral

Realistically we're just a product of the media, ya know? That's not our fault

You gotta, you gotta go out there and experience life for yourself

Yea okay, you know, you'll make mistakes but that's how you learn

Ya know? But like I said, you'll make mistakes"

That's right I know how it works, these accusations are true

Cause I was once that boy, until I learned and I grew

You could follow the crowd, you could do what they do

But you ain't going nowhere, change your point of view

Now I know it ain't easy, but you gotta do you

If the door won't open up then you gotta push through

See I can rap about bullshit, like everyone else

You wanna be hard bitch, try being yourself

See now that's what I did, and I'm doing alright

I admit my life ain't perfect, but I'm in the ring and I fight

My shoes are worn out, shirt is ripped, Im uptight

I'm still walking down my tunnel, but I'm finally seeing light

I communicate through music, the only way I know how

The world tends to seem smaller when you travel through sound

I speak though my raps and I write I how I wanna

What's the point of being FiO if Its through a false persona huh?

"Ya know, so like I was saying before, same thing. Product of the media

Don't, don't look at what somebody else is wearing or what someone else is doing

And, and what music their listening to. Like, if you wanna listen to FiO, you listen

To FiO cause you love FiO, you don't listen to FiO cause somebody else is listening to FiO

You don't wear that shirt cause somebody else is fucking doin' it! You Do You!

Every Superman has his Clark Kent, (Clark Kent)

Every Batman, a Bruce Wayne (Bruce Wayne)

Being Spiderman Is great, no one knows who to blame

But it's the Peter Parkers in this world that keep us sane

Every Superman has his Clark Kent, (Clark Kent)

Every Batman, a Bruce Wayne (Bruce Wayne)

Being Spiderman Is great, no one knows who to blame

But it's the Peter Parkers in this world that keep us sane

So look straight into my eyes

Tell me the truth and not lies

And now I understand

And now I understand

Too good to be true, our worlds collide

Tell me the truth and not lies

And now I understand

Now I understand
